wprigjoigj3i40jhgi0435ejh Veteran Posted March 17, 2006 Author Veteran Share Posted March 17, 2006 I installed them just before after posting this. So far I'm not having any stability issues or problems. BF2 framerates seem to be up by 3 FPS. Not much, but something. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I dunno. How can it be signed for only the 7xxx series and not the rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borbus Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Check bottom of page in original post: Thanks for the heads up! :yes: Thanks for the info, I missed that. In case anyone is interested, it's unsigned for the 6600GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wprigjoigj3i40jhgi0435ejh Veteran Posted March 17, 2006 Author Veteran Share Posted March 17, 2006 Yes! Where the crap are our drivers? You knew when installing X64 that it had crappy driver support. That is the only thing hold me back from using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sin-ergy Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) Just so ya'll know. I have a 7800gt and currently in safe mode after installing these drivers. Just a warning :/ Edit: primary download link ain't workin no more.....the mirrors do however. gonna try installing again. Edit2: 2nd try was successfull. I don't understand why I get a warning about these drivers being unsigned though. I can't seem to find the overclock setting thinger in the display manager.....maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

Rogue` Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Thanks for the info, I missed that. In case anyone is interested, it's unsigned for the 6600GT. :/ Anyone on a 6600GT tested em yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borbus Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 :/ Anyone on a 6600GT tested em yet? Yes, I played UT2004 for a bit. It worked, didn't notice an increase in performance. H264 doesn't get decoded on the GPU when using WinDVD 7. Not sure how to get that work (or if it works at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how to get that work (or if it works at all). You have to install nVidia Pure Video (they have a 30 day trial of it on their site somewhere). Thanx, I will give em a try tomorrow.

Dark Reaper Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Nice stuff. It's ok to install on top of my old drivers, right? Or do I have to use Driver Cleaner first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do I have to use Driver Cleaner first? You can install right over the top of the old ones, thats what I did. All seems well so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
